At my place in Mexico a short walk takes me to a number of little abarrotes (little family grocers) where everything is local and nutritious.
I agree that corporate farming has negatively affected the quality of produce and the fact that stuff is picked very early and transported while ripening has definitely decreased the taste of fresh fruit and vegetables.
For us gardening and bartering for produce locally seems to work.

That is awesome I have a side garden too with the tomatoes and squash and I've grown corn and peppers and potatoes too but yikes the squirrels get to it! Certainly not a big garden but great to supplement when its in season. Wish there were some abarrotes here like you describe sounds like honest food there are others who grow things in the neighboorhood ceratinly fruit trees which are great without the wax they put on the stuff in the store!
It really almost seems deliberate like seeing how much poison people will tolerate I see it as a learning experience when I'm optomistic though! Sooo much poison makes clean food taste like life!
It is also quite funny that you junt between canada and mexico and hop over the usa entirely lol keep up the good work
